How the Live Update works
The sequence of steps that are followed when a Live Update is done.
- A users click on "Live Update" (which is now located in the Support menu)
- LegalSuite downloads a list of the latest program files and documents from the LegalSuite server via the Internet
- This list is compared with the actual files on the client's computer.
- All files that are different are then downloaded to the "LiveUpdate" folder (e.g. C:\LSuite\LSW\LiveUpdate).
- Once all files are downloaded, a new file (Upgrade.txt) is created in the "LiveUpdate" folder. This file contains a list of the files that need to be copied to the LegalSuite program directory.
- The user is then asked to restart Legalsuite.
- When this user (or any other user) logs in to the program, LegalSuite checks for the existence of the Upgrade.txt file.
- If this file exists, the user is notified that there is a Upgrade available.
- If the user decides to run the Upgrade:
- The program checks that everyone is out the system
- Locks the system so that no-one can run LegalSuite
- Moves files from Liveupdate to the correct directories
- Completes the upgrade by removing the Upgrade.txt file and continues to load the new version of LegalSuite.
